Here we are telling you how to install RAM in your Laptop. Many times people get stuck during installation of new memory stick or RAM in Laptops but now you can install it by simply following the steps below. You don’t need to have any technician’s skill. Before heading to it, it is recommended that you read the user manual that comes with your computer for specific procedures that may be required. If User Manual is not there, then your laptop manufacturer’s website should have one available for download in PDF format.

So if you read and checked or performed all mentioned steps in your device’s user guide and still can’t get anything then follow these steps:

First of all you need to turn off the computer and remove all power cords from the computer system.

Remove back cover and then pull out battery.

Wait for some time if your Laptop was running earlier (to cool it down).

Most of laptops require X- shaped screwdriver to open most of its components. So to open up your laptop parts use X screwdriver and dissemble body parts until you don’t find or locate the memory module slot cover.

If replacing or upgrading an existing memory module, remove the memory modules by undoing module clamps and gently lifting the edge of the module to a 45-degree angle and then pulling the module out of the slot.

Align the notch of the memory module with that of the memory slot and gently insert the module into the slot at a 45-degree angle.

Replace the memory compartment cover and lock it down with the screw.

Now assemble all parts as you disassembled them.

Finally boot your laptop and check your RAM. We are sure if you fixed them in right way you will find updated RAM information in your Control Panel.

If you are planning to buy a gaming laptop and are confused about the specifications then this article would be of help to you. Gaming laptops are designed to give you the ability to play all the 3D games out there. They are also equipped with more powerful processors so they are more capable in processing.

Remember, there is no way to upgrade the Graphical processing Unit (GPU) and Central processing Unit (CPU) because it is deeply integrated within the laptop, so be precise about the configuration of the Gaming laptop. The strong GPUs produce superior performances. RAM should be greater than 1GB for latest games. The connectivity options should be another thing to consider. There are a lot of gamers out there who would rather use special gaming peripherals. This is especially true if you want to take your gaming experience to a higher level. In this case, it would be important to have an HDMI port.

Precaution : Provide proper heat ventilation to your laptop when you are playing games.

Be aware that gaming laptops can be very costly and they are not meant for those who are on a tight budget. Some gaming laptop manufacturers are Asus (affordable), Allenware (costly). Considering the requirements discussed in the article for a gaming laptop, you would be able to pick up a decently configured laptop with adequate features.

These days we use electronic devices like, laptops, PCs and Phones but we don’t bother to clean them often. I also follow the above rule. But this article will help you a lot to ensure cleanliness of your laptop. These days, various discussions are going to know the effects of uncleanliness on humans. Similar report about cleanliness on Mobile phones was released couple of weeks ago which says Mobile phones have more germs than toilet seats.

We are enlisting some tips that to clean your laptops. So here it starts:

How To Ensure Cleanliness Of Your Laptops

Keep Dust Away

Dust is a big deterrent for laptops. When dust clogs the vents, parts can be damaged. In order to keep dust away you need to:

Clean Laptop Case

Cleaning the exterior portion of the laptop case can help keep the laptop looking new and keep dirt away. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the laptop. This will help you make it look brand-new again.

Clean laptop keyboard

Laptop keyboard is different from the standard computer keyboard. There’s not much space between them to clean. Therefore, we suggest cleaning the keyboard by using the same damp cloth you used to clean the exterior case of the laptop. You can buy Laptop Cleaning Kit from MirchiMart.

Clean Laptop Case Opening

Laptop case openings are the main passage from where dirt and dust gets entered into cores. You can’t block those openings because these are used to pass air in and out to keep the system cool. Use a can of compressed air to clean the case openings. You can even clean them with special cleaning fluid so that no damage occurs.

Always Clean your Hands before using your Laptop (conditions)

As discussed above, mobiles are dirtier than toilet seats, so in order to change it, we need to wash our hands after eating food or touching places full of germs, so that those germs can’t make their way to the laptop. I know its odd to do but we have to start washing our hands.

There are several other ways to clean your laptop so that it’s performance and power always remain same. If you guys are getting some sound out of the laptop and your performance also lowered, then you need to do some hard work by cleaning your laptop internally.

Keeping your computer clean is not just for your computer’s sake, it’s also for you.

Many times we mistakenly spill water on our Phones or Laptops. But many people don’t know what to do if any liquid is spilled on your device. People do a mistake again by switching on their device after spilling. Keep the below mentioned points in your mind and these will help you to save your devcie:

There is a higher tendency that Liquid would seep through and go below to the motherboard. So to minimize damages you need to switch off your Laptop or Mobile. After that pull out your device’s battery.

Pull out the water as soon as possible as removing it as fast we will help us to sustain from major damages. As prone parts of Mobile and Laptops are properly sealed. So take no time and take out water as quickly you can.(If water is spilled in high amount)

Don’t shake or stir the laptop. (If water spilled is not in high volume).

Keep it tilted or upside down for a few hours. (for Laptops)

After that you need to de-assemble your laptop or Mobile’s parts. Keep in mind and don’t turn on your laptop or mobile.

Then with a drier or any other heating source like blower, etc. make the device and all of its parts dry before turning it on.

Wait for more than 24 hours before starting or turning it on.

One more method is there i.e DIY technology. Check out that in a video below:

In most of the cases you should be able to use your laptop after following these steps.

Earlier the PC buyers had very little choice in the primary storage section of their PC’s, Netbooks, Laptops, Ultrabooks. But now, as the technology upgrades the new technology came called SSD (Solid state disk) which very fast as compare to the HDD (Hard disk drive). All though the SSD is expensive than HDD, but if performance and fast bootup are top consideration, and money is secondary, then SSD is the way to go. We have described SSD and HDD in detail and compared them for you.

HDD - Hard Disk Drive

Hard disk Drives are first introduced in 1956. It is the traditional primary storage drives which are used by all of us. HDD basically use the magnetism to store data on rotating platter. Then Read/Write heads move on the platter to perform reading and writing operations. Typically now days laptop drives spin at either 5400 RPM (Revolutions per Minute) or 7200RPM. While the core HDD ideas are simple enough, allowing manufacturers to produce high capacity drives at very low prices. Cost HDD is only around $0.10 / GB these days. Major advantage of an HDD is that it is capable of storing lots of data cheaply.

SDD - Solid State Disk

Solid State Disk is the new technology which came in 1994. By coming of this technology to the market gives the option to the PC users from which they can choose between SSD and HDD. You all are familiar with the USB memory sticks the SSD is the oversized and more sophisticated version of the USB memory sticks. Unlike HDD there are no moving parts in SSD the data is stored in the in microchips. SSD uses NAND based flash memory which is non volatile in nature in which if we turn off the disk the data stored in it does not vanished. During the early days of SSD rumors that data stored in these drives will be lost after few years but this is not ture the data saved in these drive will be maintained well over 200 years.

SSD does not have the Read Write head instead of it these disks have embedded processor called controller which perform the Read Write operations. SSD drives generally have low capacities and high prices as compared to HDD ,SSD drives are much expensive than HDD.

Now let’s do some comparison and determine which one is better SSD or HDD.

Power – SSD consumes less power approximately 2-3watts while HDD consumes 6-7Watts which means by using SSD we can boost our battery of our laptops.

Capacity -Typically SSD are not larger than 256GB but HDD have more greater sizes available 500GB-1TB for notebooks.

Bootup Time -The booting time of the system is less while using SSD approximatly 20-25 seconds while HDD takes more time for booting.

Noise and Vibration - As in HDD their is a Read Write head which wile moving on the platter makes noise and spinning of platter produces vibration from this point of view SSD are better because in SSD there is not any Read Write head and platters it has processor to do read write operations which does not make noise.

Cost - The cost of SSD is higher than HDD .

File Copy / Write Speed - Generally speed of SSD is above 200 MB/s and up to 500 MB/s for cutting edge drives which is quite more than the speed of HDD from 50 – 120MB / s.
